Re:SXSW Cancelled Due to Coronavirus

Here was SXSW's statement on the cancelation.
> The City of Austin has cancelled the March dates for SXSW and SXSW EDU. SXSW will faithfully follow the City’s directions. We are devastated to share this news with you. “The show must go on” is in our DNA, and this is the first time in 34 years that the March event will not take place. We are now working through the ramifications of this unprecedented situation. As recently as Wednesday, Austin Public Health stated that “there’s no evidence that closing SXSW or any other gatherings will make the community safer.” However, this situation evolved rapidly, and we honor and respect the City of Austin’s decision. We are committed to do our part to help protect our staff, attendees, and fellow Austinites.

Re:Hong Kong Protesters Find New Momentum with Largest Rally in Weeks

This is rather remarkable. After the incidents at the airport last weekend, including viral videos of protesters battering individual policemen and Chinese journalists, I would have expected the Hong Kong public would become more divided on support for the protests. The 2014 protests had fizzled out partly due to disagreements on the direction of the causes.
